KDE: mounting CD/DVD failed with "an unknown error occured"
Last modified: 2006-03-23 14:31:19 UTC
When a CD/DVD is entered KDE opens a dialog box whre I select "open in new window" A new window (konqueror) with system:/media/hdc appears and a message box unknow error
this bug didn't exist in beta 6
I tried it here with Beta8, but I installed some post-Beta8 dbus updates in addition to Beta8, maybe they fixed the problem, worked fine here. In case it's a problem at kernel level or below, please have a look at the output of this command, when run in a Sytem Terminal as user root (su root), when it's run directly after the "unknown error" message appears. tail /var/log/messages In case you know how to do that: Can the same CDs/DVDs be mounted manually as root? Final comment: The automount deamon is not involved into this on my machine, it also works with Service autofs stopped here. While it might be seen as 'critically' important, I do not see grounds for justyfiying the severity of critical, as no "Crash, loss of data, corruption of data, severe memory leak" is involved.
0. the error is "Am unkown error occured" 1. mounting as root works high:/home/bogdan # mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/dvd mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only 2. autofs was not working on the system. autofs is using automount as far as I know. I enabled it configuring /etc/auto.master 3. nothing shows up in /var/log/messages BUT konqueror [kdeinit] -mimetype inode/directory system:/media/hdc and a bounch of entries appear in the process list 1. when the choose operation dialog appears 7900 ?
